Nowadays, if you’re not going on a Tuesday (where general ticket prices start at $8.99) and are movie-going any other day of the week, it could cost you upwards of $13.99. While there are obvious tactics like using SCENE points towards movie tickets, you can also keep movie night alive and thriving with other inconspicuous ways to save.
